Catching up from Nicaragua

Since the last post we have travelled through Panama and Costa Rica. We are now in Nicaragua. This place is amazing - huge inland freshwater lakes and active volcanoes. It has been hard to get near a fast and reliable Internet connection for a couple of weeks now, so it is difficult to update the blog. But I will get around to it. We are still alive and well. It is very hot and I am even getting a suntan. I reluctantly admit that I have had to wear shorts for the first time in years!!!!
